Book excerpt: "The Isle of Wight is England's largest island, but its diamond-shape is at most 23 miles long and 13 miles wide. Anchored close to the Hampshire coast, its location has created a sheltered waterway, the Solent, with its own local roadsteads and a unique double tidal system. This geography has shaped the area's history. Southampton's docks, located on Southampton Water to the north-west, had become the country's largest civilian port by the mid-twentieth century. Just north-east across the stretch of water called Spithead is the island city of Portsmouth with its ideal natural harbour. This was an internationally important port for over three hundred years, while the whole area has been places of naval significance on the world stage for even longer. From when Queen Victoria bought Osborne House in 1845 and had it remodeled as an Italianate mansion the Isle of Wight became a hub of Victorian society. The Poet Laureate Alfred Lord Tennyson lived at Freshwater, while Charles Swinburne grew up at Bonchurch, a place where Charles Dickens vacationed. Charles Darwin began his Origin of Species here, and Karl Marx came to restore his health; it was the expanding rail network that brought them there. Mark Bardell explores the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth and the surrounding maritime landscapes, revealing unexpected historical and literary associations."--PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Black's Guide to the Isle of Wight: Including Sailing Directions for the Solent An entirely new section is now added in the shape of practical directions for boat-sailing about the Solent, as it is believed that not a few amphibious tourists will appreciate some such guidance on sea as well as on land. This article has been written by Mr. C. F Abdy Williams, m.a., a yachtsman familiar with these waters, and revised by rear-admiral Hamilton Earle. These special articles form digressions from the course of our description, which, beginning with Ryde, as the place most likely to be visited, conduct the reader all round the island to leave him at Newport, its central point, whence he can easily reach any part that may have been neglected.
